In the end, however, all but the staunchest of libertarians are "sellouts". Because to believe in democracy is to believe that popularity equals moral rectitude. To believe in the State is to believe that might makes right.

And to believe, as the Left does, that concentrating power will de-concentrate wealth is pure insanity: wealth follows power. It always has and it always will. Which is why Communist leader Hugo Chavez's daughter is a billionaire and the average citizen of Venezuela can't buy toilet paper.
